Testing hormones in Australia was once a tricky prospect. Finding a GP who was willing to investigate potential conditions like adrenal irregularity or Cushing’s disease, or to help rule out hormonal imbalance, proved too difficult for most.
Self service hormone testing in Australia is now easier than ever though, & we can access high quality laboratory from home with ease. Which is great because the importance of a healthy hormone balance isn’t lost on the general population. In the opinion of this writer, some people have in the past sought the assistance of practitioners reluctantly, and the sole reason for doing so was to obtain the otherwise elusive Pathology Referral (paperwork), required for hormonal imbalance testing.
This often reported reluctance on the part of GP’s to consider salivary active-hormone evaluation as an investigative tool has served as a boon to practitioners of integrative medicine, e.g. Naturopaths, who welcomed the opportunity to provide by-the-hour consultations.
The misconception that we needed practitioners to have our hormones tested has been reinforced over time. In essence, practitioners who had correctly associated hormone health’, to our ‘wellbeing‘, held the key to hormone testing in Australia.
DIY hormone testing – direct to consumer
DIY hormone testing in Australia is about taking the first step ourselves, beginning our own investigations which could form part of our unique electronic health data should we wish. If testing was to reveal an irregularity we can take the next step ourselves. In fact sharing that data with a suitably qualified healthcare practitioner is a very good idea. A proper investigation of the endocrine system can only be undertaken by a specialist, but it could be triggered by a discovery we ourselves make.

We can trust the National Association of Testing Accreditation [NATA] experts will enforce Laboratory adherence to the ridiculously high standards one would expect here in Australia.
